Youngiana Small Roller

The Eucalyptus youngiana is one of the most spectular flowering native plants that is endemic to Western Australia, it is featured in this resource through the use of its gumnuts in this roller.  The youngiana gumnuts are encased in a handcrafted timber cage. When rolled along the ground the youngiana gumnuts roll over the dowels in the cage creating a rhythmic sound, when shaken the gumnuts moving inside the cage create a totally different sound and learning adventure.  This versatile resource will allow children to explore sound and movement when shaken. When rolled it enhances large motor development, eye hand co-ordination and spatial awareness. Through discussion children will have opportunities to connect with country and our local flora. They will be able to discuss concepts that link with early numeracy development and expand on their scientific knowledge.
